Hello everyone,

Initially, I planned to use external venetian blinds (raffstores) in the living areas and roller shutters in the sleeping areas.

Now I want to use external venetian blinds exclusively. I have the following Roma models to choose from:

- hemmed edge
- Z-lamella
- CPL

Can someone give me a tip? I’m not sure which type I should choose.

Thanks and best regards!

Do you mean CDL?
I guess the price is the downside.

Sorry... yes, exactly.

Would you prefer CDL over laminated veneer lumber?

Roma presents CDL as the best, so it will probably be the most expensive version.
I only know CDL from pictures. The Z-lamella already provides good darkening; CDL seems more for aesthetic reasons (plus a bit of pseudo security).
We have so-called T-lamella, which overlap similarly to Z-lamella and therefore offer better darkening.

Generally, I would avoid the simple or round types.

Have you installed them yourself?
Maybe you could give me some tips via private message.

How do slatted blinds perform in windy conditions? I’ve always thought that venetian blinds are not suitable for bedrooms because they can rattle quite loudly at night when it’s windy.

No.

With track-guided Venetian blinds, in my opinion, they don’t really rattle. This issue is more common with cord-guided systems, where the curtain can sometimes hit the window.
Roller shutters are quieter, yes.
